Hold an event on the Caledonian Canal

The majestic Caledonian Canal, considered as one of the greatest waterways of the world, runs from Fort William in the west to Inverness in the east. This 60 mile coast to coast channel passes through exciting towns and villages, beautiful lochs, and spectacular countryside, offering a variety of locations for your event.

The Caledonian Canal and Great Glen Canoe Trail are just two Glen Ways, and we work in partnership with the other landowners along the route. We understand that it is important that we have a fair and consistent process for all event organisers considering an event in the Great Glen.

Event Charges

In line with Great Glen Ways events fees, and existing guidance for land managers dealing with outdoor events, from 1st April 2013 events on the Caledonian Canal will be subject to event fees. These fees are scaled to ensure they are always appropriate to the event.

Safeguard our canals for future generations to enjoy

Our waterways are more popular than ever, and hosting events puts a strain on both the built heritage of the 200-year-old structures and Scottish Canals’ limited resources. Your support will help protect the incredible environments of Scotland’s canals and ensure they continue to provide great venues for all kinds of community and charity events.
